“It has long, however, been my opinion, and I have never shrunk from its expression … that the germ of dissolution of our federal government is in the constitution of the federal Judiciary; working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief, over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped.” —Thomas Jefferson (1821)

As part of the 2015 OA Centennial celebration, Nacha Nimat Lodge #86 issued a set of eight current and historical flaps as to celebrate the event. There were two flaps issued for Nacha Nimat and 2 for each of the predecessor lodges.

The second flap for Nacha Nimat shares the design of the S85, but rather than a White 1915-2015 has the years shown in Red.

Arrowtour was part of the 2015 OA Centennial Celebration. ArrowTour was an interactive event for Scouts, volunteers, and Scouting alumni that traveled throughout the country during the summer of 2015. One of the stops was at Camp Woodlands a bit north of Syracuse, NY with Lowanne Nimat as a host.

These patches were both ordered by Lowanne Nimat Lodge #219, but the current convention is to not consider them as lodge issues since it was a National design which could be personalized by the individual or entity which ordered them.

Maybe not an ‘official’ issue, but one many may wish to collect.

“The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse.” –James Madison

…when we were getting the centennial chenille rounds made we (I) paid for a sample with a red scrim and a white scrim to see which would look better. The computer mock up looked good either way, but once stitched out the red scrim blended too much with the chenille and we went with the white scrim in the production run. In theory the first white scrim sample isn’t any different than the other ~250 we ordered as we didn’t change anything. The red scrim, only one exists.
